Asylum has been so abused its ridiculous. Asylum use to mean like some political bigshot or deposed king, seeking asylum where maybe we the host nation could protect and use him for later. Today we get millions of asylum seekers as if anyone cared if they stayed in their original country. Mexican politicians you guys are geniuses. When can we send the poor USA citizens to Monte Carlo or Kuwait as refugees...

Canada needs to be tolerant and accept all of these illegal alien bottom-feeders.

At least this particular group is going for "documented" status - not illegal.
I don't worry much about documented immigrants - we've millions of those already, and another million or two isn't going to change anything here. They will find the market for immigrants is already flooded. Documented immigrants at least find some kind of support to get started.
It's the illegal immigrants - "undocumented" that are the real problem. They are unable to find legitimate employment, so are unable to establish stable roots - many, if not most, turn to criminal activity in order to survive - and that leads to much bigger problems down the road. You need shelter to live in Canada - or the weather will kill you.
What a fucking mess.
“I want to go to Canada,” said one man who was deported from the U.S. for drug possession and working illegally without immigration status.
“For those without documents, I think (the United States) is over. Now it’s Canada’s turn,” said the criminal.
That last part is what we should be promoting. these illegals are CRIMNALS, by being here illegally.
Yeah, the claims aren't necessarily bogus. Lots of people have mentioned the cartels, but the politicians are corrupt also. It's one of the better arguments for the wall: https://youtu.be/UOOBlcOIcLs

The drug cartels control much of Mexico. In most areas they control they also control politicians and law enforcement as well because any politicians or law that opposes them are violently murdered. The cartels are extremely violent. They set entire families on fire, cut of people's heads and put them on poles as warnings, skin people alive and then hang their and their family's corpses from racks in public, grind people's skin off with industrial sanders, etc.
A lot of Mexicans have 100% legitimate cause for refugee asylum.

Well you can't expect all those Mexicans to live with other Mexicans in Mexico. That would be cruel. /s
